My strengths for my success in an online learning environment has to be my tenacious. The reminders in this class have brought back memories of many tips that become useful in online environments. Being organized, not procrastinating and working off of your strengths just to name a few is what helps me get my work done. There are so many specific tools that can help with an online environment but the one I think I’m going to choose for right now would be ask a librarian. I guess this is because I don’t feel alone in trying to accomplish a goal. Of course I have to have the specifics down in mind that is very nice that they have suggestions for you and can point you in the right direction so that you can pinpoint what is needed for you to get your assignments accomplished. The resources that I need to take into account is trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I need to talk to counselors and take some aptitude test to see what I would work best at in seeking a job. I also have to learn a new way of studying. I am one of those this still wants to print everything out and annotate in the margins. I want desperately just to download these files and save them to the computer or my notebook to read in a leisurely manner. Not being forced to stay at the desk for long readings. I don’t have a clear mind in the upcoming term because I am wanting to change direction to more suit my strong skills. The main goal that I do have is to learn Spanish and get a BA degree.
I’ve always had very good luck with librarians. The profession seems to attract people who want the best for others! Good luck in your future endeavors!
Aptitude tests are great, and they might tell you what you’d be good at, but may not tell you what you’d be happy doing. The advice I always give to my kids is that while of course youwant to go into a field where you can financially support yourself, first and foremost, find a field that you are passionate about. Advisers are really good about helping you choose classes that will give you some insight as to what you might enjoy as well as fulfilling some of the degree requirements. Take it from someone who spent 10 years in a career I despised, find your passion and go for it! Good luck!
